"joy in work" the phrase, originally "pride in work" was amended to "joy" by Deming in 1988, after David Kerridge, professor of statistics at Aberdeen, pointed out that "joy" in labour was found twice in the Book of Ecclesiastes.[34][35]








Remembering Prof. David Kerridge
                                                             By Hanching Chung





Ever since I wrote to Prof. David Kerridge and received a long reply to my questions in 1995, I think David was my mentor. Although we did meet, I knew we are friends. Let me take  advantage of this note to offer our sincere condolences of Taiwanese Deming Circle to his family.


Indeed, I am one of members of David’s worldwide Deming Philosophy Circle. David put the idea of it to some friends in email, but I laughed at the idea of it, cited many historical cases failed.Nevertheless, David continued to be my never-ending resource on Deming/Shewhart philosophy. Nearly every year, David and his daughter Sarah got some well-thought papers. In his late years, he even shared with us his papers in his Apple computer disk.

David Wrote Dr. Deming’s obituary in European Quality (  "The official journal of the European Organization for Quality"), Circa 1995. He involved in Dr. Deming’s seminars since late 1980s. In Wikipedia’s “W. Edwards Deming” item, a note tells us that

 "Of the four experts, Deming, who can be the harshest as a teacher, seems the most humanistic, insisting that it is every person's right to have "joy in work." He used to say "pride" until David Kerridge, a professor at the University of Aberdeen, pointed out that the Book of Ecclesiastes says "joy" in two different verses. Deming, whose one known hobby is writing liturgical masses, switched to joy. He estimates that no more than two in a hundred managers and  ten in a hundred workers now have joy in their work. In Quality or else: the revolution in world business Lloyd Dobyns, Clare Crawford-Mason – 1991.


I joined British Deming Association (BDA) several years since 1996.  In each issue of the Variations newsletter, I enjoyed David and Sarah’s short essays very much, for example, “Guilty by Association” tells a typical Dr. Deming’s reaction to so-called Total Quality Management (TQM). Their English are good and I hoped someday to publish bilingual version of their collection of essays. Unfortunate, this idea was only partially completed yet. David was the chairman of BDA’s Research Committee. His annual reports for the committee were models of any research organization.  

Thanks to David’s kind permissions, In 1998 I put two essays in my Chinese web siteTransformation not Tampering and “A Model of Transformation” which I thought it is very inspiring. But David was learning all the time, when I proposed to put it in the coming book edited by me about 2008, David thought it is not very good and suggested some other article. In 1999 Feb. I put their essay “Operational Meaning” translation in my website.  (Deming Electronic Network website used to have a collection of David & Sarah Kerridge’s essays at that time.)

David and Sarah’s contributions to some professional journals are worth mentioned. For example, “ Applying the DEMING PHILOSOPHY to the Safety System “ , Professional Safety; Aug 2006, Vol. 51 Issue 8, p.52. Their contributions to The Journal for Quality & Participation are very good: Dr. Deming's cure for a sick system (;Dec 96, Vol. 19 Issue 7, p.24) and “Managing complexity” (March 1, 1997).

I read  “Managing complexity” in The Quality Yearbook ( Cortada and Woods (editors) , McGraw-Hill , 1998) and wrote to David to congratulate them. A Chinese version of it was put in our book System and Variations (2010 ). David also wrote a foreword for our book The Essential Deming (2009). David also helped me to translate Dr. Deming’s paper On Probability As a Basis For Action (American Statistician, 29, 1975, pp.146-52).

David was an authority on Walter Shewhart’s philosophy. He helped the paper
“W. Edwards Deming’s mentor and others who made a significant impact on his views during the 1920s and 1930s” (Beth Blankenship and Peter B. Petersen, Journal of Management History, Vol. 5 Iss: 8, pp.454 – 467). I remember how happy he was when I discovered a "Tribute" for Dr. Shewhart in U.S.A..His reply to my mail listed for your reference: “Thanks for this web site. I have extracted the photographs from the html pages, and enlarged them. This makes all the writing in the pictures,
even the handwriting, easy to read.  Yes, the main tribute is from ASQC.”

He was also pleased to know that Dr. Deming’s name was mentioned in the note of one of Sir Ronald Aylmer, Fisher (1890-1962) paper in Fisher’s Archieve. I knew his profound knowledge of statistical thinking so I asked him many “Big Questions”. One of his answer is “I think that R A Fisher saw further than Neyman and Pearson, but not as far as Shewhart.” In 2011, I had several mails with him about the Scientific Inference by Sir Harold Jeffreys. He was always very helpful.

In 2009 David had a sense of urgency and replied to one of my mails to him:
 “I am afraid that the generation of us who knew and worked with Dr Deming is getting older. We badly need a new generation of scientists who understand the Shewhart/Deming ideas and will take them forward. So much research remains to be done...”

Anonymous is a 2011 political thriller and pseudo-historical drama film. Directed by Roland Emmerich and written by John Orloff, the movie is a fictionalized version of the life of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, an Elizabethan courtier, playwright, poet and patron of the arts.[4] It stars Rhys Ifans as de Vere and Vanessa Redgrave as Queen Elizabeth I of England.
Set within the political atmosphere of the Elizabethan court, the film presents Lord Oxford as the true author of William Shakespeare's plays, and dramatizes events leading to the succession of Queen Elizabeth I and the Earl of Essex Rebellion against her. De Vere is depicted as a literary prodigy and the Queen's sometime lover, with whom she has a son, Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton, only to discover that he himself may be the Queen's son by an earlier lover. De Vere eventually sees his suppressed plays performed through a frontman (Shakespeare), using his production of Richard III to support a rebellion led by his son and Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex.[5] The insurrection fails, and as a condition for sparing the life of their son, the Queen declares that de Vere will never be known as the author of his plays and poems.
The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, 2011.[6] Produced by Centropolis Entertainment and Studio Babelsberg and distributed by Columbia Pictures, Anonymous was released on October 28, 2011, in 265 theatres in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, expanding to movie theatres around the world, in the following weeks. Critical comment has been mixed, praising its performances and visual achievements, but criticizing the film's time-jumping format and the filmmakers' promotion of the Oxfordian theory of Shakespeare authorship.
